  • Sound is missing after start-up, disable/re-enable of the audio device required

    Hi,
    I have a MSI K8N Diamond with onboard Creative Live 24! sound.
    Since last weeks I have a strange problem with the sound; when I start-up the PC after some hours of inactivity, I have no sound at all. I tried to see what's happening or to find a workaround and I discovered that I can get the sound back by disabling the audio device from the control panel, restarting the PC and then re-enabling the device.
    To explain the phrase "I have no sound" I can say the following: when I go to the control panel and open "Sounds and Audio devices", everything seems OK. But when I try to test for example the sound that will be used for the "Asterisk" (or whatever else), the small back triangle next to the sound name turns to a black square (normal) AND REMAINS BLACK SQUARE FOR EVER... (while normally it should turn again into a triangle within some seconds).
    I re-installed XP and all the updates from Microsoft, but the problem is still there. I checked the "event viewer" but there is nothing relevant. I also tested both the original drivers from my CD and the newer ones from the MSI site.
    Do you think this could be a hardware problem? An IRQ conflict probably? (I've seen that Creative uses the same IRQ with Sil3132). Any other ideas?
    Thank you,
    Petros

    So you reckon it to be a hardware issue... 
    OK, I'll open the case in the afternoon and have a good look inside. It's true that recently I did some work (added memory, changed a HD) so probably it deserves some time to see again if everything is in tact inside. 

  • What EXACTLY are the 4 NVIDIA High Definition Audio devices on N570GTX - Win 8.1

    Hi guys,
    one of my rigs runs an N570GTX on Win 8.1 64bit.
    In Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers, there are 4 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" listed.
    I use 337.88 drivers (NVIDIA Control Panel version 7.7.760.0).
    What is the purpose of EACH of these 4 devices:
    As a side note, my other rig running an N660GTX on Win 7 64bit only shows 1 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

    Okay, by examining the devices (enabling, disabling, reading driver data), I can conclusively state that one of the drivers (in my case residing in Location 1) is exclusively tied to the HDMI port on my GPU –  when I disable it, my HDMI device (I have only one; shame, because I can't isolate the devices better) stops being listed in Windows Sound Control Panel; when I disable all other devices except that one, my audio over HDMI works fine – this leads me to believe that the other ones are not really essential codecs required for HDMI audio, but are instead related to the individual audio outputs.
    In summary, assuming the other two devices (residing, for example, in Location 0 and Location 2) are for audio output on DVI ports (usable via DVI->HDMI adapter/cable), there's still one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device (residing in, say, Location 3), which doesn't seem to be in use in relation to some sort of global codec mechanism (since I can disable it without affecting my HDMI port audio output), that is unaccounted for!
    Any idea what other output can the remaining device be linked to, since GTX570 has no S/PDIF pass-through connector on the board itself (to connect it to the motherboard's S/PDIF output)?
    Could the remaining device be there only as a legacy stub for S/PDIF connector which was present on the pre GeForce 400 Series cards, since they share the same NVIDIA drivers with the post-Tesla series?
    But in that case, why does my GTX660 list only one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device in Win 7 64bit?
    Quote from: Nichrome on 02-July-14, 19:33:05
    Apart from the sound you can get through HDMI (which would be 1 or 2 of these in management), it provides your board with some "HD Sound Drivers" which takes another 1 or 2 of these.
    I have quite few of these too even on my old laptop (with Nvidia card): x4 Nvidia High Definition Audio, x1 Cyberlink WebCam, x1 Realtek HD and x1 Bluetooth sound.
    Your specs read that you have a GTX770 running on Win 7 64bit; do you also have four of the Nvidia High Definition Audio devices? Or just one? Thanks!

  • No audio device installed (Big iss

    Hello all,?I have Vista Ultimate and am using an Audixy 4. After installing the new drivers today (SBAXVSD_PCDRV_LB_2_2_0002) I lost my sound. At the device manager i see that "This device is working properly."?When I go to Controle panel/Sound I see the device but I almost none of the commands work (Disable, Test, Configure) only the Properties work but there I cannot do anything useful. When I right click on the Sound icon at the bottom right of the screen and go to Open Volume Mixer, it says "No audio device installed"?Yersterday I also had this issue and reinstalled Vista with a fresh install which fixed the problem. Today I had the same thing again and decided to use my onboard sound card (RealTek, 623_Vista_APO), and nothing changed! I am still getting the same errors as with the Audixy 4. Is there any sollution to this Vista bug? :angry:?Thanks for reading

    I am not sure why anyone is not replying with a resolution but I am having a similar problem. I am having a computer custom built and the Technician building it claims that Windows Vista will not recognize both the Soundblaster Xi Fi Extreme Music sound card and the MSI 8800GTX 768MB video card that I have chosen for the configuration. This is due to some conflict. The Technician claims the problem is the sound card and Creative needs to update drivers before this configuration can be done. Is this true? Can anyone explain why? I know Creative has Windows Vista drivers but apparently for this situation it does not resolve the conflict.

    Please click Start->In the Search Field above, type DEVMGMT.MSC and Press Enter, it opens Device maanger Window,  click + next to Sound, Video and Game COntrollers, right click on IDT or High Definition Audio Device entry, and click uninstall.
    Click Start->All Programs->REcovery Manager->Select NO on Software Program Installation, click Next, select YEs on Hardware Driver installation, click yes, it shows all Drivers, choose Audio Driver, and click Install.Restart the PC, and check if the issue has fixed. If not, go to Control panel->Sound, on PlayBack Tab, right click on empty Space, select Show Disabled Devices, Show Hidden Devices, select Speakers, and click Set Default, play a file in Media Player, check to see if it works.

  • Fix for Missing Audio Device in WinXP S

    My sound card disappeared from the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties panel. I tried cleansweeping and reinstalling to no effect. I could watch my card disappear from the panel as Windows went through startup after I reinstalled it. My card , a Sound Blaster Li've!, was listed under the hardware tab but the drivers were listed as "Driver installed but not started". Creative Diagnostics said I passed the hardware detection test but failed the driver tests. I am using the drivers from the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG) version .0.0..
    I found this fix after searching with Google. The site is www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxpt/t06642744. It resolved my problem. I did use DH Driver Cleaner Pro to remove any Creative drivers. You need to know that the hardware scan and reinstall in step 6 can take several minutes. I also removed hidden copies of my Creative devices in step 5. The revealed hidden devices have greyed icons next to them.
    Sincerely,

    re: sound device errorThursday, April 2, 2005 at 6:02 amPosted by Ven <FONT size=-2>(<I> messages posted</I>)
    RE>Hello to all,
    I got much useful information from this topic, but none of them resolved my sound
    problem. I use Windows XP SP2 on an Asus V7V8X and a Creative SB Audigy. I also tried
    removing the SB card and enabling the built in VIA AC 97 without success.
    Then I tried removing and adding back the Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator
    as you suggested without success.
    Then I went further reinstalling some of the kernel sound drivers and that resolved
    the issue in my case so I describe my ste
    ps.
    First I suggest everyone to create a System Restore point to have something to return
    in case of something goes wrong. You can boot XP to safe mode by pressing F8 at the
    beginning of the Windows startup and select Safe Mode if the system doesn?t start
    in normal mode and use System Restore there to go back to the working configuration.
    Then try these steps only if the others mentioned here don?t help. I had everything
    ok in Device Manager and every driver was running that should, compared to an other
    working system, but the symptom was that there was no sound coming out from the sound
    card. Everything was OK in the Device Manager, but in the Sounds and Audio Devices
    Control Panel there was only the Voice recording option on the Voice tab, and the
    MIDI music playback (without the sound card being in the list) on the Audio tab acti've.
    The others like Voice playback, Sound playback, Sound recording and everything on
    the Volume tab was grayed out.
    . Create the restore point.
    2. On the System Properties panel, Advanced tab, Environment Variables button, under
    the User variables click New and create a variable named devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
    with the value of .
    3. Open the Device Manager and select Show hidden devices from the View menu.
    4. Under the Sound, video and game controllers group, find your sound card(s) and
    disable it/them (don?t need to uninstall).
    5. Then uninstall the following devices:
    - Microsoft Kernel Audio Splitter
    - Microsoft Kernel System Audio Device
    - Microsoft Kernel Wave Audio Mixer
    - Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compatibility Driver
    6. Select Scan for hardware changes from the Action menu. Now the system should redetect
    and reinstall the deleted devices automatically. You may get non signed driver warnings,
    click continue.
    7. Enable the devices you disabled in step 4. You may need to restart the computer.
    The problem should be disappeared, you should be able to play sounds.
    Good luck!

    Hi
    You should check if the microphone has not been disabled.
    Go to control panel -> sound -> recording tab
    There you should make a right click and should enable the both options called show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
    Now you should see 2 microphone entries; one internal mic and second should belong to the external mic jack.
    If you want to use the internal mic then mark it as default device.
    Cheers

  • No Audio Device Detected (but it shows up correctly in device-manag

    Well, I bought a new soundcard, since I was tired of my old integrated one, and wanted good surround-sound. The model is Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty, and my old integrated one is a Realtek-HD (doesn't say more than that).
    Now to my problem, I removed the drivers from Realtek (even cleaned lots of it from the registry) and put in the new soundcard in a PCI-slot, as it's supposed to be done. I then started the computer, canceled the automatic installation and installed the drivers from the CD I got with the card (this is what it said I should do), now the card shows up in the device-manager as "Creative SB X-Fi" and it tells me it's working fine etc. The Creative-update software also detects it so that I can download the latest drivers.
    However, I have no sound, and in the control-panel's "sound & sound devices" it says "No sound device" and I can't do anything. :/ (not sure if this is what it's called in english, I'm using the swedish version of Windows XP Professional), I can select the soundcard in creatives Volume Panel (where it says "select audio device") without any error-messages, but when I double click the application (to change the volume etc.) it says it can't find any supported soundcards.
    I tried removing the drivers etc. for the SB-card and installed the Realtek ones again, but it's the same thing there, it shows up in the device manager (under sound - video & gaming-units) but windows still says it can't find an audio-device. My guess is that there's some kind of conflict between the Realtek-integrated card and the new one.
    Anyone got any ideas of what to do? :/
    Edit: Also, the computer keeps wanting to install the integrated soundcard, but I can't seem to find any way to turn it off in the BIOS :/ (I have an ABIT motherboard, don't know what type, can't seem to find the box for it). The BIOS is called "Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG"
    I have ofcourse tried to fully remove and reinstall the SB-drivers aswell, but no luck there. :/

    next time go into control panel click on sounds, click on record, right click any where in the record box and then put check marks in the boxes that say show disabled devices, and show disconnected devices. Those devices disappear when the boxes are not checked making your pc think there is no output sound.

    Wow,
    Talk about picking the hardest solution to an easy problem.  You guys were right, it wasn't driver related at all.  It simply wasn't enabled in the system BIOS.  I never imagined that it would be disabled as a default.  I conceptualized this is Plug and Play (Which was wrong).  
    Thanks for the hand.  BTW, MSI help desk was clueless about this (which was surprising).

  • 'Connection to Audio Device failed' - constant Bluetooth message

    I have a Blackberry Torch and keep getting the above message, despite there only being 3 paired devices, each of which works fine when on. The message repeats every 3-5 seconds whenever I'm in the house, but no other device can be found on search.
    Any ideas? 

    Hey Occam1,
    To better assist you with this issue, what types of Bluetooth®  audio devices are you connected to? This message appears when you are out of range of the Bluetooth® device, you may want to disable your Bluetooth® when you are in your house this would stop the prompts from Bluetooth®.
    Thanks.

  • Yamaha XG-AC Audio device not working after SP2 for XP was installed

    Hi,
    i'm new in this forum and maybe my question is a stupid one but i'm not able to solve this problem.
    My Satellite 5200-801 doesn't make any sound after i've installed SP2 for XP. I tried to find a new driver for Yamaha XG-AC Audio Device( the one that doesn't work is 6.13.10.2152 (date 19/07/2002)but i was not able to find anything.
    Please, could you help me ?
    Thanks
    Bruno

    Hi,
    I found another posting in this forum about this issue!
    Your Satellite 5200-802 has a sound chip called Yamaha YMF753 and it is built in different notebooks! This chip does make problems with Service Pack 2 because MS regards the Yamaha AC-XG sound driver as being unstable. When Service Pack 2 is installed, Windows will disable the sound driver.
    Here are some links which could help you!

  • Default audio device resets to HDMI

    I have recently installed arch (again) and this time I used Pulseaudio. I have always used ALSA before. Now I cant get my system to remember Internal analog audio as my default audio device. It resets to HDMI at every boot/login.
    I have followed the pulse audio examples guide. Defaulting to an analog output source But that results in no sound at all.
    I am clearly doing something wrong but cant figure out what.

    I have disabled every HDMI device in pavucontrol but it still resets to HDMI in systemsettings/multimedia.

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.
